CNN anchor Jake Tapper knocked Dilbert creator Scott Adams over his “racist” tirade and Twitter CEO Elon Musk for speaking up in his defense, RadarOnline.com has actually found out.
The embattled author and cartoonist has actually been at the center of debate because last Wednesday when an episode of his YouTube program Real Coffee with Scott Adams went viral due to outrage over his remarks.
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with White people – according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll – that’s a hate group,” Adams stated.
“I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people, just get the f— away … because there is no fixing this,” he went on.
Hundreds of papers have actually now dropped the long-running animation, and his publisher ended on his upcoming book and will no longer offer his previous books.
Tapper sounded off throughout Monday’s edition of The Lead, talking with CNN press reporter Oliver Darcy about the experience, keeping in mind that Adams had actually referenced a survey by Rasmussen “that’s a pro-Trump media company whose polls do not meet CNN’s standards.”
“A fairly racist statement, as blatant as it gets,” Tapper stated. “Adams, who we should note, came on The Lead in the early Trump era a few times. He’s been trending more and more hard right, for years now into some really bigoted terrain. But I guess this apparently crossed the line into self-immolation.”
Darcy concurred Adams made some “very shocking comments.”
“It seems to be that he is promoting effectively promoting segregation, saying that White people should not be helping Black people,” Darcy continued.
“Now he’s saying he was being hyperbolic and wanting to start a conversation about race, but obviously making comments like that’s no way to start this conversation.”
Tapper stated this is not about cancel culture, however rather “consequence culture,” hypothesizing that after the circulation business cut ties with him, it is going to be “potentially a huge financial blow” for Adams.
“He’s also clearly preaching White supremacy,” stated Tapper, revealing his shock that Musk is relatively “weighing in on Scott Adams’ side of this.”
Darcy described how Musk chimed in by publishing an action to news about Scott’s remarks via Twitter.
“The media is racist,” the Space X CEO composed. “For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-White people, now they’re racist against Whites & Asians. Same thing happened with elite colleges & high schools in America. Maybe they can try not being racist.”

Darcy then explained how Musk “went on to elaborate on that tweet, not not actually doing himself any favors. Now, he’s saying that he doesn’t always agree with what Adams does, but that he finds the Dilbert cartoon funny.”
“Yeah, nobody’s talking about the Dilbert cartoon,” Tapper replied with a laugh. “We’re talking about what Scott said on the YouTube.”
